About Us
A comfortable, elegant space to dine in, a neighborhood destination. The wall sized Chalkboard allows me to be free with the menu, incorporating the influences of the many cuisines I have worked with over the years; classic French, new American, Asian, Creole, and of course the tricks I learned in my grandmother and mother's Italian kitchens. Most importantly, an ever changing menu allows me to maintain our commitment to using locally produced and organic product wherever possible.
The elegant interior design was created by our brother-in-law Angelo Adamo, who incorporated the look of our building's exterior and ideas of Victorian and French tearooms to create our space. He contributed one of his original paintings to the space as well. It keeps company with an original work by our friend, the artist Peter Stephens, and hanging out on the shelves around the space are curiosities and knick-knacks, many of which were spotted by the fine eye of family friend Deborah Lovely, of Lovely Fine Arts, Inc.
